The Weekly Personal

One of my favourite things is to work in a coffee shop. Very hipster, I know, but when you work from home a lot and studying it’s so helpful to have to get out of the house so you don’t end up spending the day in your undies watching Netflix. Mara and I had our favourite coffee places back home (“where everybody knows your name <3”) where I did my studying for CBT, writing blogs and a book and organising events. Here in Australia Robin and I try to find good places to work as well, I’m re-learning French (“oui!”) and doing a project management course. And writing, obviously (some for pay!).

We’re in Melbourne at the moment, on our way back to Brisbane. Oh man, travelling has been amazing. Living in a car (and the occasional AirBnb), seeing so much, meeting all these great people, what an adventure. In the map you can (roughly) see where we’ve been.

Hey Marijke, cool journey you’ve made. Hope you’re feeling better from the indian food thing. I saw your map of Australia and i was wondering; I’ve been dreaming of doing the great ocean road trip by bicycle. Do you think that’s feasable, from what you saw? Other than it being quite a stretch. Are the roads ok? Would there be enough room for a bicycle considering the other traffic?
